Music News From Around The Web: Drake, Lady Gaga, and More

Music news has been somewhat interesting this week. Not only have their been a slew of leaked tracks, but there’s also been a lot of tracklist reveals, as well as some shifting on in Billboard’s music ratings. With that being said, here’s a couple of music-related stories that have been abounding this week:

There’s still roughly about a week (well, less than a week at this point) until Katy Perry’sPrism album hits stores (it’ll be arriving October 22), but that’s not all the “Dark Horse” singer has been up to lately. Recently, Katy Perry officially joined the likes of artists like Janelle Monáe and P!nk and joined forces with Cover Girl.

Go ahead, Katy.

Perry was diligent about reporting the news and did so in the following tweets:

I think many (including myself) are presumably pumped for this. As victors of 2011’s season of The X Factor (The UK version), they continue to impress and I’m honestly still waiting for their fame to explode. And I’m hoping this new album is what does it.

Also, as a bonus, you can check out the track-list to their upcoming album and their song “Move” below:

So Cher Lloyd recently spoke to Billboard about her upcoming album and it will be titled Sorry I’m Late. Apparently, the title holds two means: not only will Lloyd be trying new things and new, mature sounds for the album, but the title also reflects the fact that Lloyd is still learning news things about herself and such.

I’m not to sure why some people are shocked about this, but in all actuality, I’m inclined to hold back any kind of judgment on the song until I hear it in its entirety. The clip is only about 30 seconds long and that definitely isn’t (read: shouldn’t) be enough to get anyone riled about.

However, if you’re up for it, you can check out the song/commercial below:
